The geological implications of the upper seismic unit, southeastern Barents Sea

An upper Quaternary seismic unit has been mapped to the east and southeast of Bjern~yrennain the Barents Sea. The unit is dcfined by interpretation of shallow seismic (sparker) data, and occurs as an upper, seismically transparent sequence in the Quaternary succcssion. Discontinuous internal reflect...
